Is deviated septum genetics?

Maybe: The cartilage in the center of your nose is important for the support of your nose. It can be deviated from trauma as dr cohen mentioned or as you feel, congenital. If it's asymptomatic and does not case a physical image issue, it's not a problem.

Deviated septum: A deviated septum is a common issue. It can be caused by trauma, position in utero and even during the birth process. If there are symptoms like nasal obstruction, snoring or recurrent sinusitis, have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist.
